Statewide Criminal Records
Search State Source-Level Criminal Records
BackgroundChecks.com offers a comprehensive Statewide Criminal Search product. ClearChecks has access to 38 of the 50 states that offer this service.
We conduct research across various statewide court systems to confirm and match records with the provided PII. Subsequently, each record undergoes meticulous review by our team to determine reportability, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability. Each court may have different processes for record storage and request handling; some provide immediate access through public kiosks, while others require clerk assistance, potentially causing delays.
Turnaround time may vary depending on the jurisdiction being searched. Some Statewide Criminal searches may complete within 24-hours in jurisdictions with immediate access while clerk-assisted jurisdictions may take up to 3-5 business days. Our screening process strictly follows FCRA guidelines to maintain legal compliance. With BackgroundChecks.com, you can trust that you will receive a comprehensive background screening that enhances workplace safety, mitigates risks, and ensures regulatory compliance.
